Heidi posted a recipe in the German recipe group rk-suite Rezepte ( which is the support group for RezkonvSuite, the IMHO best 'recipe organizing software' on the market ), which I absolutely had to try. It is a fig prosciutto salad, a very simple, but elegant appetizer. It's easy and you can prepare it way in advance.

The recipe is by Jamie Oliver, whose recipes I love for their simplicity and this special something, they always have. In this case he combined fresh and plummy figs, mozzarella and prosciutto ( I used the German prosciutto from Stockmayr, which you can by at Trader Joe's ) with a sweet, lemony dressing. He named it ' Quite simple the world's best salad '. Maybe, he's right with that:-)

Directions

For the dressing combine everything and whisk with a small whisk, until it's smooth. Set aside.

Cut the figs from the tips not quite to the bottom twice, like a cross. Push them open, so that you can see the flesh. Put the figs on a small plate, wrap them with prosciutto, sprinkle with mozzarella pieces and torn basil. Drizzle with the honey lemon dressing, be sure, to get some dressing in the figs.
